Congrats to those who have received approval. :-) Condolences to those whose sales have been canceled. :-(

The new style also puts more pressure on the brake pads, locking them tighter.

Congrats! The way everyone else has treated the hold is; If you have the EUC and invoice, you pick up your truck. I don't think anyone else has had a problem.

Yup, NAPA 90w gl-1 here too.

Having the same leaky transmission problem. I'm having the dreaded transmission oil leak through the bell housing problem. I know I have the right oil, I know it's 1 inch below the plug, and it's leaking upon shut down. It started when I began to take longer trips. When I got confident with...

As traffic and highway speeds have increased, they had to draw a line somewhere, they decided it would be 26,000#. The reason they use the Gross weight instead of actual weight, is potential. Our M817 weighs 23,725#. I may be using it to haul groceries today (Yeah, that's overkill, but it makes...

Just because you could, doesn't mean you should I'm still fairly new here, but I'll play bad guy for a second. It has been pointed out in many threads, on this forum, that anything you do in public effects all of us. Let's say your example will pass. So you are now "legal" but still going...

Go to the operator's manual here: http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=86 It's on page 4-42. I downloaded the manual and read it. It is full of stuff you won't think of, or maybe won't find on your truck just by looking around. Some...

Just tell me you're going to keep the flathead. I love the old flatheads. Mine is one of the "new" ones. A 1953 8RT, in a 1953 Ford truck.

Are you going to drive it, or haul it? If there is anything I can help with, let me know. I'm fairly close.

If you can get the ID number and the registration number, go to the "2009 vin info" thread here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/33114-2009-vin-info-thread.html Post the requested information and CARNAC should be able to help you out. Give him a couple of days to answer. If he can...

Mr. ungrateful has an H1 Hummer and he's complaining about a deuce? My guess is he's jealous that his ride isn't the biggest and baddest in the neighborhood. Instead of getting a 5-ton, he's trying to use the government to downsize the competition.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been following that lead but can't find much on it. I did find a mention of a "small mobile water chiller" in technical bulletin TB MED 577. I don't know why that bracket bothers me, it's really not that big a deal.

OT! A friend of mine was an electrician on an aircraft carrier. The commander of the carrier was on a tour of the ship one day and saw a hole in some big control panel. (modular panel) He told them to "plug that hole", and that he "didn't care what they put in it." So they built a little...

Here is a picture of the actual bracket. I've talked to a couple of people that were in the military until recently. They don't have a clue what it is.

Thanks, in advance, for any light you can shed on our trucks' histories. XM 817 5-ton: SN: 05F59970C12310182 RN: None located NSN: 23200508970 Source: DRMO Blue Grass, 4/9/1996 BN: 125CR385E C32 (As best as I can tell. The BN is not in very good condition.) M35A2 2 1/2-ton: SN: 012534494 RN...

Does anyone know what the bracket welded on the front of the M107 tank is for? I've looked through the TMs and searched the website and can't find anything but a picture of it. It's not important, I would just like to know.

Does anyone else just drive their MV around for no good reason? I was moving the M107s around today ( I'm going to touch up the paint ) and decided I should hook one up to the M35A2, "just to see if everything worked." I've never pulled anything with it so I wanted to see if the electrical and...

Actually, he came to Kentucky and took the front seal out of my M35A2 transmission. Thanks, Murphy. :-(

I have bought parts at Worldwide Equipment in Lexington. They are over on Nandino Drive. They actually had parts in stock for the NHC 250. www.thetruckpeople.com They won't have MV specific parts, but they have a lot of the non-MV mechanical parts. You will need to have the numbers from the...
